This Is Our Favorite Black & White Apparel and Gear for Men Right Now

As the days get colder and shorter, you’ll need a hat that pulls double duty for warmth and visibility. Made from 100 percent Merino wool, this pick will keep your noggin toasty and insulated — even when wet. Plus, the luminescent yarn will keep you seen when you’re racing the sun down.

Float through every stride with a running shoe designed for going the distance. The innovative Floatride Foam technology packs soft and responsive cushioning without the extra weight. Plus, the Ultraknit upper and 3D heel cradle make this the most breathable and supportive shoe for logging serious miles.

You’ve dedicated hours to finding the perfect running shoe, so make sure you’ve got the right socks to match. This pair from CEP uses Smartgrip technology to ensure you’re not sliding around on the run.

Pump up the volume on your next run with earbuds designed for runners, by runners. These wireless headphones have interchangeable tips and fins for the perfect fit, so they’ll never be tangled up or falling out. Plus, this sweat-proof and water-resistant pair can handle even your longest training session with up to 12 hours of play time (4 hours plus an additional 8 hours with the included charging case).

Hoods up, hands down. This hoodie is a total game changer. Made from ultra-comfortable Luxtreme fabric, this pick is ideal for enjoying runs and recovery days alike. Zip-up sides enclose hidden pockets for stashing your gear without adding bulk, and the reflective details double for visibility and style.

Even the most vigilant runners forget to hydrate when the temps drop. This stainless steel 25-ouncer will keep you sipping strong from your desk to the track. It can handle both hot and cold beverages, and keeps them that way — thanks to double-walled insulation. More five-star features include a wide mouth for ice cubes, a condensation-free finish, and a cup-holder friendly design.

Your workout demands a shirt that keeps you warm and dry from the first mile to the last. The sweat-wicking ACTIVCHILL technology banishes moisture to keep you cool, comfortable, and focused. And thanks to reflective graphics, you can stay visible when you squeeze in that extra mile past sunset.

If you need tights for running in the cold, grab a pair from a company that braves Boston winters. New England runners engineered these tights with lightweight Inverno fabric that sheds moisture and defies biting wind chills. The specially designed waistband eliminates drooping on long runs, and zippers at the calves make them easy to pull over shoes with cold hands.

Don’t take your eyes off the finish line because of a pesky sun glare. These sleek frames feature polycarbonate lenses that filter out harmful shortwave light and enhance the color and clarity of your run. Rubber pads at the nose and temples will lock them in place, even when you’re hammering it out on the hills.
